Any Commercial: electrolyte containing drink will do but make certain that you drink enough PLAIN WATER! Follow your won body..it "tells you" when you need water...you get THIRSTY ...THIRST indicates you need plain water..sweating will result in Sodium loss as well thus the electrolyte "drinks" during the day.. CARRY BOTH! Hope this helps! DO NOT FORGET SUN BLOCK!!!! Dr Z
